Feeling better

Part of the reason for not posting recently is because I've felt so rough. I have been very healthy for quite a while so catching a cold and a developing a chest infection was annoying and very unpleasant. It has left me feeling tired. I helped Katy make her curtains which are now up at her window and looking great. Apart from the curtains, sewing has been very limited.  Over the weekend I decided I needed to pull myself together and get on with something. I decided to pull out the dolls I'm making for the dolls house. When I last looked at these I'd sewn round the dolls patterns.


I cut the shapes out and painted flexible fabric glue on all the seams. I then cut a hole in the back of the baby doll so that I could turn the seams to the inside. It was a bit of a struggle to do and at one point I was holding this small jumble of fabric

Eventually I got it the right side out and then I could start filling it with toy stuffing. Unfortunately I remembered I had finished the stuffing when I made the stuffed rabbit earlier in the year so I need to go shopping for more. 


Since I couldn't start stuffing the baby I made a start on the armature for the child dolls. First I folded the brass wire to the shape in the instructions and then I covered it with white florist tape. 


The pattern for the wire was easy to follow. Ill share more about the dolls at the weekend.

  2. I do hope you are feeling better, that chest infection sounds nasty indeed. Good luck with those doll bodies, they look much too tiny for me go deal with.
